Temperatures in Lubbock cooled from the 1920’s through the 1970’s, then spiked up at the 1998 El Nino, and are now back down to pre-1998 levels. However, Katherine Hayhoe doesn’t allow actual data to interfere with her global warming religious crusade.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I’ve noticed on more than a few graphs that big swings in temp preceded the 1970s cooling.
We seem to have big swings now.
Silly Wild Ass Guess:
I think the big swings are because the Jet stream is more meridional in pattern than zonal both then and now. That means you get swings between cold arctic air and warm equatorial air. Remember the “Polar Express” Storms in the late 1960s/early 1970s?
I do. I also remember that pattern lasted into the late 70s, then it ‘abruptly’ switched not long after the great Pacific shift.
Many meteorological data happen to be most volatile, as in swing from very cold to very warm or from very warm to very cold and very wet to very dry, etc., from November through March, in the extratropical Northern hemisphere. I would think that applies to the Southern one, too; but to a lesser degree (water to land ratio being much higher in the Southern hemisphere).
Oh, I just remembered something and my memory likely is faulty; but even with the ‘cold’ 60s/70s, I do not recall any single digit overnight lows, let alone subzero ones down in the parts of the South I’ve lived in. All of the single digit and below overnight lows that I remember happened after 1 Jan 1980. Every. Last. One.
Sure, big and bad ‘noreasters happen. They happen pretty much every year, but this storm will be remembered in my part of the South for a long time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Storm_of_the_Century. This one did not happen during the 70s Ice Age Scare. This one happened in the CAGW scare. I know that I’ll remember it, for as far south as 32.3N, there was thundersnow, in the middle of March.
Oh, I remember that one too. We sold our home up north but the deal we had on a house in NC fell through. We ended up in a travel trailer in a park not far from where I had my horses boarded.
The guys who owned the farm were out of town at a rodeo and were snowed in and could not get home for days. There elderly mother was not up to dealing with the snow and ice so we ended up taking care of their entire farm including the rodeo stock they leased out. (Bulls, calves and bucking horses.) Sheet ice on the roads and frozen water lines meant we had to haul warm water in gallon milk jugs to de-ice and refill stock tanks. NOT FUN and pretty much a full days work.
As a result of that fiasco, my water lines on the farm are planted three feet deep!
Gail–do not denigrate yourself SWAG Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess!
The trouble is that there some gullible AGW True Believers and headline readers who take this foolish woman seriously. Eventually, real-world events will overtake the hyperbolic rhetoric of Hayhoe and other climate scaremongers as global temperatures continue to flatline and then begin a long-term decline in response to a hibernating, somnambulant sun.
In the ‘eventually’ period how much extra tax and other suffering will occur?
That is the real problem. Once passed and the damage done, Congress rarely retreats. Prohibition is the only major law I can think of that got repealed and the bureaucracy build up was just redirected at the “War on Drugs”
Gail, you’re forgetting the Harrison Narcotic Acts. The push for people control via ‘drugs and drug wars’ has been going on for more than 100 years. Alcohol prohibition was such a spectacular failure (and the one and only ‘anti-drug’ prohibition done properly under the Constitution) that the proponents had to acknowledge it (note, even today, tobacco remains legal, but the effects of the tax policy has formed a black market for cigarettes in places where the taxes are too high).
Public intoxication is a problem and thus the focus should be on that. Yet that won’t happen because that would mean that a century of propaganda would be lost and liberty expanded. Another corollary of the ‘war on drugs’ is the ‘war on commerce’ and the ‘war on liberty’, for commerce is a facet of personal liberty and sovereignty.
Actually cdquarles, I didn’t. What I was trying to get at was the fact no one was fired or laid off just transferred. Big Government rarely if ever down sizes.
I no longer have the actual link but this is what was happening:
The 18th Amendment banning the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages went into effect on January 16, 1920 and was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1934.
The Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914 established a tax and registration requirement on narcotics and cocaine. (The real priority of the legislation, however, was to comply with the first international drug control treaty, the International Opium Convention of 1912. – Funny how all this stuff revolves around the 1913 time period when the International Bankers grabbed control of the USA.) Marijuana prohibition started with the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.
The Banksters puppet, big government lover FDR, was in office March 4, 1933 to April 12, 1945. He was not about to see a reduction in the enforcement branch over which he had control so the switch was from a focus on Alcohol to a ‘Drugs.
The enforcement branch started as a department under the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury since the control of alcohol started with an Alcohol Tax Act of July 31, 1789 (Think Whiskey Rebellion) The Prohibition Reorganization Act of May 27, 1930 transfered The Bureau of Prohibition from U.S. Department of Treasury to the U.S. Department of Justice. After repeal, The Bureau of Prohibition is reorganized into the Alcohol Tax Unit (ATU) and transferred back to the Treasury Department. The National Firearms Act of 1934 added guns to the Bureau of Prohibition in 1941. (So the gun control fight goes back to prohibition and FDR) The ATF doesn’t become an independent Bureau until July 1, 1972. At that point it reports directly to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Enforcement, Tariff and Trade Affairs, and Operations. https://www.atf.gov/content/about/our-history/timeline
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) didn’t show up until 1973. Prior to the creation of the DEA, drug enforcement rested in the hands of the Bureau of Narcotics in the Treasury Department. It was responsible for the control of marijuana and narcotics. Before 1930 control of narcotics was under the Bureau of Prohibition.
You can sort of see it in this date line:
Isn’t it handy that one division dies you have another division stating right up?
I hope that rambling clarifies what I was trying to say.
Agreed. I think Ludwig von Mises wrote a fairly thick book about bureaus and the closest thing to immortality on earth, bureaucrats :P.
Take home point: the ‘War on Drugs’ is old. I had forgotten the tie to the Whiskey Rebellion.
Yes, the ‘machine gun’ was the bogey, created by prohibition, which created black markets and the rackets that operated them. The machine gun ban was around 1934 if memory serves.
cdquarles,
Glad we are back on the same page.
I always hated history in school but I seem to be learning a lot more history (The real history) now that I have access to the internet and an interest in the worthless crew in DC.
It sort of looks like there was a major change in ~1997 the Super El Nino, a station change?
I patiently held my tongue for years on making any comments regarding Hayhoe because my daughter was attending Texas Tech. Even though my daughter took no classes from her I still felt it better not to criticize, I didn’t know if Hayhoe had any friends at Tech in other departments.
Now that my daughter has graduated with her Master’s I can freely say that Hayhoe has no common sense.
Either that or she is paid well for her propaganda.
Would that mean she has lots and lots of common cents?
No, just monopoly money.
